The Doctoral Researchers Society aims to bring doctoral researchers together for seminars, conversations, social events, networking, and sharing of ideas.
Connect. Share. Inspire.
The Doctoral Researchers Society at the University of Wolverhampton brings together PhD and professional doctorate students from across all campuses to share ideas, network, and support one another throughout their research journey.
We understand that pursuing a doctorate can sometimes feel isolating, so our society aims to create a welcoming, collaborative, and motivating community where researchers can connect through seminars, conversations, and social events.
Regular Meet-Ups – Weekly or bi-weekly gatherings (on rotation across campuses) to encourage connection and inclusion among researchers.
Seminars & Discussions – Opportunities to present your work, exchange ideas, and explore interdisciplinary perspectives.
Networking & Social Events – Build friendships, professional connections, and peer support networks to make your doctoral journey enjoyable and rewarding.
Foster a Sense of Community – Create a supportive space where ideas and experiences can be shared openly.
Encourage Collaboration – Connect doctoral students across disciplines for intellectual and social enrichment.
Promote Wellbeing & Balance – Support one another through the challenges of research with positivity and mutual motivation.
